Call of Duty: Black Ops Xbox Pre-E3 Conference PreviewMon, Jun 14th, 2010, 2:27 pm (EST) BY KYLE WYNEN
Call of Duty: Black Ops has seemingly become Treyarch's chance to finally prove themselves to the game's industry, as the last two Call of Duty games they've produced have greatly lived in the shadow of those developed by Infinity Ward. With Infinity Ward quite possibly in shambles, at Microsoft's pre-E3 conference Activision took the chance to debut the first game of the conference, surprise, Call of Duty: Black Ops. |
E3 2010 Preview: ActivisionFri, Jun 11th, 2010, 12:35 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA
Activision is a company that's been having a bit of a rough spot this past year, at least in the publicity department. A slew of Guitar Hero games, the Infinity Ward drama, and the occasional closing of a development studio never gives a good impression, but it appears this year the publisher has a pretty impressive lineup of things to show the world. E3 is a chance to turn things around, at least somewhat, and it looks like as though Activision have secured some pretty fantastic games. Fact, speculation, and alternate realities come together for this E3 Preview: Activision Edition. |

Will Medal of Honor Be Able To Topple Call of Duty?Fri, May 21st, 2010, 7:19 pm (EST) BY ADAM MAAs the great Solid Snake once said, 'War has Changed.' Modern war at least, since the original release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare the face of console FPS gaming has shifted dramatically from it's infamous World War roots to a more high-tech playground. This isn't to say that 'modern day' shooters never really happened prior, or that Infinity Ward is single-handedly responsible for informing the teenagers everywhere about how an AC-130 works. But the genre has most definitely become more streamlined, and the action has taken a very different shape in the wake of CoD 4's success. The two most recent players? Treyarch and EA, both working hard to make sure that their respective series will wind up at the top of the sales charts. The real question is, which one deserves more attention, Medal of Honor or Call of Duty: Black Ops? More » |
